Canada braces for prolonged trade war as counter-tariffs on US take effect
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported56m ago
Canada began implementing retaliatory tariffs on up to C$28bn ($20bn; £15bn) worth of American goods on Tuesday, applying rates as high as 50% on items ranging from steel and furniture to cotton T-shirts. The measures mark an escalation in a trade dispute between the two nations, taking effect with no resolution or trade deal currently in sight, leading officials to brace for a prolonged conflict.
The Canadian government's counter-tariffs are designed to directly match previous trade restrictions imposed on Canadian imports by U.S. President Donald Trump. As both sides implement these economic measures, the unfolding situation highlights a deepening trade escalation between the neighboring countries.
